Ken Hinkley has a better win percentage than Ross Lyon

[El_Scorcho]

I can understand Hatred towards a coach for under performing and not getting finals.

But Ken Hinkley has given Port some finals success.

We've lost 5 of our last 6 finals by an average of 9 goals. We've won 3 finals matches in a decade.

Happy to go coachless for a season or two if we don't get any applicants.

The Cats might have another assistant coach that could be of use. How about James Kelly?

Could be worse. My team has only won 1 final in 9 seasons.

Essendon hasn't won a final in 20 seasons.

Gold coast suns been in this comp in 14 seasons and have no finals

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Who else are you gonna get to coach?

Theres been 5 premiership coaches hired after we have taken Ken and 2 runner up coaches. We could have taken a chance and changed earlier but no.

Using your logic of who you gonna get, none of them should have been hired and those premierships are just an anomaly?

Is there apparently no future head coaches left in the pool? No one will replace any of the current coaches? Dam it’s going to be a sad time for AFL that there is no quality coaches left for future generations as who is anyone going to get at any point ever moving forward from now.

Carlton pull themselves over these exact stats

It's not Ken's fault you have a poor forward line.

Yeah what’s Ken supposed to do? Provide input into list strategy based on how he wants to coach? Crazy notion

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

We are consistently one of the most inaccurate kicking sides for goal. Regardless of whose playing and across multiple list turn overs up forward.

That suggests the forward structure is poor and we’re taking a lot of shots from out wide, which we do.

Our forward line is ineffective at times due to a terrible forward structure which is obvious as dogs balls to anyone who watches us play.

Dixon straightened you guys up enormously when he was in his prime. Ollie Lord any chance of being a player?

It’s a big year for Ollie to show us what he can do and if he has that potential to be a backup ruck as well.

Last year he fractured his leg after a strong preseason with really derailed his year. Then the year before he had a lacerated Kidney and missed a chunk of time, lost a lot of weight etc.

It’s hard to really know what his potential is as he hasn’t had the building blocks the last couple years to come into the year strong. After a full preseason and no injury concerns this year, hopefully he shows us he can take that step.

That finals win against Hawthorn was one of the great finals coaching performances, you haven't got the cattle.

If you're going to troll you should tone it down a notch, using the exact lines people post on the Port board sarcastically as a joke is making it way too obvious.

So you think that you do have the cattle and the only thing holding the club back is the coach? Gmab.

Even Ken cant win a flag with 22 cows. A prelim maybe

They have good players but their bottom 8 players aren't flash.

Sounds like you should complain more and be less satisfied with your performances.

 

[Taper]

Port nearly made it under Hinkley in 2014 and 2020.

People said that Hinkley taking Port to within a kick of a grand final in 2014 was a fluke, but he proved it wasn't a fluke when he took Port to within a kick of a grand final again in 2020.

It’s almost impressive that you’ve managed to change your tune 3 times when faced with facts in your defence.

From, who else you going to get, to you haven’t got the forwards to now just overall haven’t got the cattle.

Sounds like someone who doesn’t like to form views based on facts and will just continue spilling out anything without actually countering anything that’s been put to you.

I have been consistant that Ken is a good coach, and you need more depth to go to the next level, especially forward depth.
